Exalting Jesus in Revelation is part of the Christ-Centered Exposition Commentary series. This series affirms that the Bible is a Christ-centered book, containing a unified story of redemptive history of which Jesus is the hero. It’s presented as sermons, divided into chapters that conclude with a “Reflect & Discuss” section, making this series ideal for small group study, personal devotion, and even sermon preparation. It’s not academic but rather presents an easy-reading, practical and friendly commentary. The series is projected to be 48 volumes.
Reviews
I am a "layman." And I confess somewhat a Bible commentary "snob" - impressed by reviews, rankings, seminary training/association of author, etc. (I consider this trait unattractive and probably sinful.) I have over five other commentaries on Revelation (besides Akin's.) All are ranked higher than his and all written by authors very well-known and very well-respected. Of course!! I LOVE Akin's commentary. He writes clearly and is easily "accessible" - an adjective which I often suspect means "good for the less educated and less gifted!" I highly recommend this book and ask God to reduce my arrogance and increase my teachability, I.e. humility. Thanks Dr. Akin (whom I will respectfully call Daniel from now on.) I feel I am being led through a rather "difficult" book by a friend not superior! That is a great compliment coming from a snobby layman!
